Not that meaning of "plane". Mathematics includes entire branches that have nothing to do with numbers/quantity, theory of knots, etc. An example from tiling would be the statements "circles, regardless of their sizes, cannot tile a plane" (cover it leaving no gaps) and "identical squares (of any size) can tile a plane".

I don't think tiles will help smooth out lumber either

do mathematical trees grow needles or leaves?

the best knots on a spar help hold the sails which propel the nautical vehicle at knot speed

reminds me of an Anthrax song...
